What is it about?
This paper is about estimating of thermal conductivity in the particulate composite. Periodic arrangement of particles is modelled for different volume fractions. An inverse calculation is done in temperature boundary condition for estimating the overall conductivity. This methodology is validated with experiments and it compares well.
